Open Source update

Mezzanine Instagram is “Better than your grandma’s polaroids” and more…

It is a little known fact that in the last six months or so I’ve put up a couple simple web apps on GitHub as open source.

I’ve contributed before, but usually just documentation and related non-code to very large projects, like Plone and Django. I’d chalk up my reticence to just not having had control of the software I was writing or to not wanting to ask for the permission to publish.

This time around is a little different, since I’m a partner at a pretty great creative agency, Butchershop. Not only do I have the call on making something open source, it’s also pretty easy to tell what people might find useful thanks to all of our clients. So without further ado here are a couple little things I made.

A presentation and an example Django project code for a CMS site running on Heroku and Amazon S3 for next to nothing. (S3 is really cheap, Heroku is free). Uses the awesome Mezzanine CMS http://mezzanine.jupo.org/.
